WHK-B "84to104" (1xcUAC20, 4xcSRM6, 2xcMPL)

5/5,

1 rating

Monster brawler build, runs hot on basics so it's better to bring coolshots.
Plenty of ammo for all weapon systems.
It can potentially out-alpha the Hawk Smash if the UAC20 doesn't jam (104!), while being a lot cooler.
I also like that it's all short ranged and the weapon synergy, cMPL are perfect with uac20, and the 4SRM in the other group...now if only I could have lasers and dakka on the same side, but this is a face to face brawler, usually does not matter.
As usual ammo placement is problematic with the WHK, but hey, can't be perfect the switch of SRM ammo in the arm for an UAC20 ammo is to prevent too much loss of SRM is left side is lost, while you can tolerate 1T of UAC20 to go while having 3 more in the UAC20 side. 4 tons all on the left side looked too much.

Give it a try, good stuff

LB20X version is better if you like alpha and retreat, still 84 alpha and cooler then HawkSmash (with more crits).

The dowside of the build is the lack of long range weapons, but then again, this is a brawler.

 

Im having insane amounts of fun in brawling range with this build.

For me the Warhawk feels kinda squishy, but pumping out 84/104 dmg Alpha Strikes will drop enemy components like nothing else I tried before!

Spoiler: Example

 

I built this one. It uses only WHK-B omnipods, so it gets a few bonuses there. It also has a slightly lower alpha (80-100), and it has a bit more pinpoint damage.
